Bluestreak Crystals: Authorised Swarovski Distribution Partner

Bluestreak Crystals is an official Authorised Swarovski Distribution Partner, one of a very small number of approved suppliers worldwide permitted to sell the complete genuine Swarovski range. Every crystal is directly sourced from Swarovski Wattens, Austria, and quality-assured.

Alongside the Swarovski range, we also stock two further premium crystal brands: Serinity crystals, our own Austrian-made brand, and Preciosa crystals, premium Czech-cut crystals with excellent brilliance across the full range, both available in equivalent black and dark colour options.

What Black Swarovski Crystal Colours Are Available?

The range covers six distinct colour effects. Jet is the deepest and most dramatic, a fully opaque black with intense light absorption and strong facet contrast, making it the standard choice for high-contrast black crystal applications. Jet AB adds a single-sided Aurora Borealis iridescent coating over the Jet base, producing a rainbow spectral shimmer without softening the underlying darkness. Jet AB x2 takes this further with a double-sided AB coating for an intensified multi-directional iridescent effect that catches light from every angle.

Black Diamond offers a different character entirely, a deep charcoal grey with a warm undertone that sits between clear and black, working particularly well as a dark accent alongside warmer crystal colours. Black Diamond Shimmer adds a soft metallic lustre to the charcoal base for a refined sparkle suited to bridal and occasion wear where a dark but not stark crystal is required. Crystal Silver Night is a deep charcoal grey with a cool silver undertone and a distinctive metallic quality closer to gunmetal than black, complementing silver and rhodium-plated metal components particularly well.

What Product Types Are Available in Black?

Every Swarovski crystal component type is available in black and dark colour options. Flatback crystals in non-hotfix, hotfix and sew-on formats cover SS3 to SS48 across all six colour effects, making them the most widely used product type for garment embellishment, nail art and mixed-media projects. Crystal beads including the Xilion bicone and round bead are available in black and dark options for necklaces, bracelets, earrings and bead weaving. Crystal pearls in dark colour options add a deeply lustrous accent to bridal and fashion jewellery where a dark pearl finish is required.

Chatons and fancy stones deliver a deeply coloured set stone for jewellery settings and dimensional designs where colour intensity is the design focus. Pendants in drop, heart and specialty formats suit statement necklaces and earrings in dark colour effects. Sew-on crystals with pre-drilled holes cover black colour options for permanent stitched applications on garments and performance costumes.

What Are Black Swarovski Crystals Used For?

Designers and makers use black and dark Swarovski crystals across professional jewellery making, fashion embellishment, bridal and occasion wear, dancewear, costume making, nail art and accessories. Jet and Jet AB are the most widely used for high-contrast embellishment and costume work where a bold, graphic black crystal effect is the priority. Black Diamond and Crystal Silver Night suit jewellery making for their sophisticated dark tones that complement both silver and gold metal components. Black Diamond Shimmer is a consistent choice for bridal and occasion wear where a dark but refined crystal accent is required without the starkness of full Jet.

Why Choose Black Swarovski Crystals?

Black and dark Swarovski crystals are engineered to the same exacting Austrian manufacturing standards as the rest of the Swarovski range, delivering the consistent sizing, colour accuracy and batch reliability that professionals specify Swarovski for. The six distinct colour effects give designers and makers precise control over the darkness and light character of the crystal, from the full opacity of Jet through to the metallic sophistication of Crystal Silver Night. All crystals are lead-free and REACH-compliant since 2012, available across retail and wholesale pack sizes with no minimum order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What black Swarovski crystal colours are available?
The range includes six black and dark colour effects: Jet (deep opaque black), Jet AB (Jet with single-sided Aurora Borealis coating), Jet AB x2 (Jet with double-sided Aurora Borealis coating), Black Diamond (deep charcoal grey with warm undertone), Black Diamond Shimmer (Black Diamond with metallic shimmer coating) and Crystal Silver Night (deep charcoal grey with cool silver metallic quality).
What is the difference between Jet and Black Diamond Swarovski crystals?
Jet is a deep, opaque black producing a bold, graphic effect with strong facet contrast. Black Diamond is a deep charcoal grey with a warm undertone, producing a softer, more sophisticated effect. Jet is the standard choice for high-contrast black crystal applications; Black Diamond works particularly well as a dark accent alongside warmer crystal colours and in mixed colour designs.
What is Crystal Silver Night?
Crystal Silver Night is a deep charcoal grey Swarovski crystal colour with a cool silver undertone and a distinctive metallic quality, producing an effect closer to gunmetal than black. It is a popular choice in jewellery making for its sophisticated dark tone that complements silver and rhodium-plated metal components.
What is the difference between Jet AB and Jet AB x2?
Jet AB has a single-sided Aurora Borealis iridescent coating applied to one side of the crystal, adding a rainbow spectral shimmer over the deep black base. Jet AB x2 has a double-sided coating for an intensified iridescent effect on both sides of the crystal, producing a richer and more complex multi-directional spectral shimmer.

Black and dark colour options are available across the complete Swarovski crystal components range, including flatback crystals (non-hotfix, hotfix and sew-on), crystal beads, crystal pearls, chatons and fancy stones, crystal pendants and sew-on crystals.
